Is groundnut good during pregnancy?

Question

My MIL keeps giving me roasted moongphali in the evening and says its good for the baby. I like it but thoda confused if eating it daily is fine or too much. Anyone here ate groundnut regularly during pregnancy?

Honestly groundnut is the cheapest protein you can get. I used to eat boiled peanuts when almonds felt too costly. Works great and easy on the pocket.

Haan groundnut is fine, good source of protein and folate actually. Just dont overeat fried or too salty ones, roasted is better.

I am addicted to peanut chikki this pregnancy lol. Tastes great but I limit it because of the jaggery sugar. Plain roasted ones I eat freely.

My amma always gave me a small handful of roasted groundnuts daily, she says it is good for protein. I ate them through both pregnancies, just keep the quantity moderate. If you have any nut allergy then ask your doctor first.
